My parents have done many things right - but I am truly grateful for the way they have supported me and my siblings through all of our different adventures.
I am sure my mother panicked when I informed them that I was dropping out of Ozark Christian College to join the US Army. But she never freaked out.
When I came home for Christmas - Dad and I went out for Pizza and I said I wanted to be a soldier. He was proud of me. I was probably stupid for not waiting until the semester ended - but they never made me feel that way.
Once I deployed to Germany - mom and dad were so faithful in phone calls, care packages and letters to let me know I was loved.
I see that with my sister and brother as well - no matter where we are - mom and dad are thinking about us and praying for us.
In spite of the normal faults that parents struggle with - my mom and dad have always been a willing ear and supportive heart. We have had many disagreements - but I never ONCE felt that could never come home to warm bed or a hot meal. Even to this day - I know that my wife and kids are always welcome at my parents home.
I am convinced that this is because of their Faith - my parents are godly parents - who consider pleasing God to be the number one priority in life - that example is what keeps me pressing on.
